ABSTRACT:
A method includes producing units of work with at least one source application instance (AI) at a source device and consuming units of work with at least one destination AI at a destination device. A first reliable datagram service is established, with a first source and destination resource (SDR), between the source device and the destination device. A second reliable datagram service is established, with a second SDR independent of the first SDR, between the source device and the destination device. A first unit of work stream is transmitted over a communication services/fabric with the first reliable datagram service, which guarantees strong ordering of the first unit of work stream received at the destination device. A second unit of work stream is transmitted over the communication services/fabric with the second reliable datagram service, which guarantees strong ordering of the second unit of work stream received at the destination device.
